The Little Seed
A little seed in the ground,
Without making any sound.
Waiting for the sun to gleam,
Growing in a quiet dream.
Raindrops fall from up above,
Giving1 all the water love.
Roots reach down, stem pops out,
Happy, safe, and free from doubt.
Now a flower, big and bright,
Dancing in the morning light.
Red and yellow, soft and tall,
Best of all, it grew from small.
